FYI, the blog is on partial moderate.  When you post a comment, you can view it but not necessarily everyone else can.  It depends on whether the spam mechanism has flagged the comment.  Please don’t assume that because you haven’t received a response from a candidate, he or she is ignoring you.  Also, please don’t assume they have not responded.  If they have included a link in their response, it is also held for moderation and you will not be able to read it until I moderate it.
